They are supposedly getting £75 million each. And that's just the fee from the Saudi's to secure it. Including an extra 5m to go towards securing an undercard. They will then also get all the PPV money (not from me) plus sponsorships, the final confirmed figures are going to be staggering oh wow, I didn't even realise that. Lets hope they factored in 15-20 million for wilder to step aside like a good lad. Infact give him the money and set him up to fight on the night against ruiz jr or Whyte

I really want to see Joshua vs fury but i also believe that contracts should be respected, they signed for a trilogy i believe therefore you either pay the step aside and arrange another fight for him and then as suggested he can face fury later

This fight might not happen now Arbitration has ruled Fury has to fight Wilder before 15th July. Hahaha!

Can see Wilder being paid to step aside there. The Saudi’s won’t want to give this fight up.

Great win for Taylor and a good scrap. Best British boxer at the moment?
Bored of the messing around with AJ and Fury

See Usyk’s boxing the arse off the statuesque AJ. Fury’s not going to be mithered!

Still think AJ would beat him. Guess it's one of those things where people will differ in opinion until it actually happens. All I know for a fact is it needs to happen to determine who the best heavyweight on the planet is. Was this a carbon burner account? Coz lol! Fury vs Usyk holds no interest for me. Would be so dry, and you just know Fury would do what AJ should’ve done tonight, and just clinch and hold very chance he gets. Sap the energy, get the KO.

AJ will (obviously) seek revenge in the rematch and get schooled again, if last night’s fight was anything to go by!

TBH, I didn't fancy AJ whilst watching the walk in. Too much smiling etc. The focus wasn't there. Almost like the job was done.

So disappointed with AJ. Offered very little. But fair play to Usyk. Was a very good, controlled fight from him from start to finish. I'd imagine the rematch will be different but AJ need to change his approach. He's a quick, powerful boxer and we saw none of that from him last night.

TBH, I didn't fancy AJ whilst watching the walk in. Too much smiling etc. The focus wasn't there. Almost like the job was done. Can’t remember which round it was, but Usyk had stunned him with a left during it and AJ’s body language at the end of the round was very similar to the night in New York when it was all going wrong against that human biscuit tin. Nobody likes getting hit, but AJ has traditionally responded very poorly to being dragged into deep water. With his previous loss, you could see how it would be avenged simply with better movement, fighting at range and using the jab. His technical skills were better than those of Ruiz. But with Usyk, he won’t be able to do that as he is clearly miles behind him technically. The only way might be to try to overwhelm him with power, which is risky as it’s just as likely to get him battered by the more fluid puncher. You could see the fight was going wrong when half way through, the incredibly bias commentary team decided it was all of a sudden a massive advantage to be the lighter man.
